An old, overlooked song by Jagger offers glory to God instead of man

Certain songs, such as “Stairway to Heaven,” tend to get lots of attention, and get played over and over again on radio, streaming, etc. But then there are other songs that are overlooked or even forgotten. The song “God Gave Me Everything” by Mick Jagger is one of the forgotten ones.

Jagger, of course, is known for his work as the singer for the Rolling Stones. The Stones have had many hits and written tons of great songs. But Jagger also did some solo work, and back in 2001 he wrote “God Gave Me Everything” with Lenny Kravitz (who also played guitar on the song). The song appeared on the “Goddess in the Doorway” album.
